Whoever shot this footage needs to be hit in the head with a crowbar. Repeatedly.

i had to stop the video and look for another review - the camerawork bothered me that much. i just want to see the bike, not get seasick.

You have failed as a video editor when I notice your shoddy camera work more than the subject of the video.

Yeah I get the camera work isn't that good, but this is a really comprehensive review. And by my own searchings on YouTube, there aren't many Sprint ST reviews/tests by legitimate media publications. So stop complaining about someone's work. If you think this is bad, go check out anything by MCN (Motorcycle Consumer News) the British dudes are VERY questionable and a little biased.

@FatherTimeST1300 yeah tiger seat is pretty high that's why i got it - at 6 foot 3 inch most bikes are on the small side for me. my shortest friend is 5 ft 8 in & he is on his tip toes & won't ride it because he fears he may drop it at the traffic lights! they can easily be lowered at the back with an adaptor plate, and re-spring the front, but i think its best to get a bike that fits properly from stock. messing with ride height and suspension could alter handling. best of luck choosing

MARK J. ROBBINS,

Thanks for the reply. I've been considering the Triumph Tiger, Triumph Sprint ST and Honda Interceptor. Honda has screwed up the new Interceptor with that dual clutch bull shit so that leaves the Triumph bikes. The Sprint ST & GT are both really nice but the Tiger is so damn sexy except for the tall saddle height. I have til the end of the year to decide so we'll see.. ♥ Ride Safe, Mark !

@FatherTimeST1300 Totally agree - I switched to tiger 1050 this year after decades of jap bikes and could not beleive it had clutch cable! love the bike though and better built imo than jap stuff.

Begining was crap, camera dodging about did nothing for the clip.

'Wrist started to ache after a couple hundred miles'?... no stop for fuel ?. bet his bladder was hurting more.

Typical yank hype

[FatherTimeST1300]

Why does Triumph still use cable operated clutches on their bikes? Even the Thunderbird and the Rocket III use cables to operate the clutch. Hydraulics are so much smoother and easier to operate. That's my biggest peeve with Triumph.
